HAVWEAR

The HAVWEAR monitor has been developed to more easily and effectively assess and manage hand arm vibration (HAV) risks. By lowering the cost of monitoring HAV exposure the HAVWEAR makes individual exposure monitoring a reality.

The HAVWEAR is a wrist worn device to advise workers of tool vibration risk. The HAVWEAR informs the wearer of their exposure by calculating and displaying in real-time their HSE HAV risk assessment exposure points. Sound and vibration alerts inform the wearer if their personalised exposure thresholds have been exceeded.

HSE exposure points

For those of you unfamiliar with HSE HAV risk assessment exposure points it is a system to allow workers to understand their daily exposure levels and limits. The points are calculated based on how long a tool is used and its vibration magnitude. The higher the vibration magnitude the quicker the operator accumulates exposure points.
